In this week’s episode of the show, Marc and Marion are dissecting an inquiry they recently received from a client. It basically goes like this – even with interest rates getting lower, what is in it for me?
That question has been asked by several of our clients over the years, whether they are discussing the low interest rate they already have on their mortgage or whether they don’t have a mortgage at all anymore!

The One Big Beautiful Bill. Have you heard of it? After weeks of hot topic discussion on TV networks and newspapers, the divisive bill has been signed into law by President Trump.
But regardless of your opinions on the bill, we thought it would be helpful to highlight the key things included in the 900+ page document that is important to our clients. Most specifically - the verbiage and benefits around Social Security.
Tune in as Marc and Marion move through the noise and get into the meat and potatoes of how this bill affects their clients.

As we approach the halfway point of 2025, it’s hard not to look back at the headlines that dominated so much of the first six months of the year and see if they are still relevant.
With that in mind, Marc & Marion are spending much of today’s episode of the show discussing “confirmation bias”, or the tendency to favor information that already aligns with one’s preexisting beliefs. This is very true in the political realm, but what about in your financial decisions?
With that in mind, the duo also touch on the importance of being careful where you are getting information from online, especially with the advancements in technology that excel at deceiving you.

With Marc traveling this week, Marion and Christian are driving the ship for this week’s episode.
As we officially enter the summer season next week, most of our “snowbird” clients are heading back to Massachusetts after spending the winter months down south.
But that brings up a big question that most of our clients have – how do you handle changing your residence once in retirement, especially if you own two homes in two different states?
Listen along as Christian and Marion discuss differences in state income tax, insurance differences, and some of the most common ways that clients claim domicile in somewhere like Florida during retirement.

With Marion out on vacation this week, Marc is tapping in Christian for today’s episode and even let him pick the topic!

More often than not, it’s something about the markets, financial advice, or economic panic. But is the water cooler a better place to make financial decisions than with your advisor? We discuss in this special episode of Dollars & Sense.
